Joyful Christmas

Now before I start talking about this card I did for Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge, I got the idea for this BEAUTIFUL poinsettia from this GREAT card by Nikki Spencer. I thought it was so beautiful and I wanted to give it a go. And it worked perfectly for this challenge!

Okay…so it’s time again for antoher Technostamper Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge and Mary Jo has a GREAT sketch for us. It was a little difficult getting a good shot of this. In real life the Merry Christmas really does show up well! And now for the details…

Pool Party – 4 1/4 x 8 1/2 folded

Whisper White 3 3/4 x 3 3/4

Pool Party Winter Frost print 3 3/8 x 2 1/4

Stamp the leaves 3 times in Versamark on Vellum Cardstock, silver emboss, cut out, sponge back with Wild Wasabi.

Stamp poinsettia 2 times in Versamark on Vellum Cardstock, silver emboss, cut out one full one and one of just the inside, color with Bermuda Bay, curl leaves with bone folder, layer small flower on large on using dimensional.

Add leaves to back of poinsettia using glue dots, add flower to card using dimensional.

Stamper Merry Christmas on Island Indigo using Versamark, silver emboss, cut into a banner and add to card front

Finish off Poinsettia with a Frosted Finished Embellment. I added using Glue Dots.
